So, as Kevin Day, school nurse, stated, “you might as well take advantage of it.” Blood donors needed in drive Few people would fail to be moved by the image of literally hundreds of fellow citizens queuing up to save another’s life. ■ In late December, many watched the television coverage of shivering volun teers lining up to sub-freezing weather to donate blood after a United Airlines jet crashed near the Portland Airport. In subsequent letters and editorial comment in the city’s daily press, these individuals were described as heroes. Few would differ With the premise that they were motivated by the highest consideration and regard for others. But who were the real heroes? According to the American Red Cross, it takes a minimum of six hours from the time a unit of blood is drawn until it can be processed and administered to the individual in need of it. “In the attempt to resuscitate the individual who is in shock due to blood loss, it is usually the blood available within the first two hours that makes the crucial difference in saving a life,” said Kevin Day, College health nurse. Day believes the real heroes of that cold December night were those people with foresight and com passion enough to donate their blood before the disaster oc curred. In large measure, the fact that so many were saved was due to those few people, Day said. On February 12, all studen ts, staff, and friends of Clackamas Community College will have the oppor tunity to make just such a gesture. The American Red Cross Bloodmobile.will be on campus from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Community Center. For those who have never before donated blood, information about the procedure is available through the Health Service, ext. 250. Suggestions to be boxed Students wishing to express an opinion to the Associated Student Government will be able to do so now, according to Julie Chitty of ASG. Suggestion boxes will be placed throughout the College for that use. NOIV Big Mouth Is Here Big Mouth from Mickey's Mult Liquor THE MEAN CREEN ©1978 G. HEILEMAN BREWING CO.. INC., LA CROSSE.
